Abstract: CITRAAZINE a synthetic stimulant is obtained by blending Piperazine Citrate with carriers MAP and KNO3 or trace elements along with Succinic and Acetyle Salicilic Acid with sequestering agent HEDP, the resultant may be in the liquid, powder or granule form for use in Agri/Horticulture.
The present invention relates to the method of preparation of a synthetic simulator of a plant growth regulator among hetrocyclic aromatic nitrogen compounds. This invention activates the meristematic tissues thereby totally enhancing reproductive capacity, ultimately inducing photosynthesis, thereby increasing the photosynthates. The concept of "florigen" is also triggered favourably by this invention. Most importantly, the use of this invention is safe, environmental friendly and crops do not develop immunity even after prolonged use of these synthetic simulators.
SCOPE OF THE INVENTION / PRIOR ART
There already exists a number of synthetic Plant Growth Regulators (herein after referred to as pgr), which are available on a commercial scale such as those composed of "nitorbenzene", "nitorpyridine" etc. Nitorbenzene pgr works only as a flowering stimulant and nitropyridine pgr works mostly for inducing plant growth and prevention of prematured fall of flowers and fruits. Therefore, there exists no single plant growth regulator which can combine the action of the aforementioned pgrs. This invention however, works on both flowering and non-flowering plants and thus overcomes the existing drawbacks.
There is no prior art in totally enhancing growth, imparting resistance to pests and diseases and also in sequestering ions to avoid fixation. This invention comprises of a combination that increases quality and shelf life apart from above characters and increases brix sugar etc. in Agricultural / Horticultural crops.
The Indian agriculturist has been using NPK for the past two decades unmindful of the consequences such actions result in, in deficiency of different pgrs. The above situation is sought to be corrected by this invention. This invention relates to restoring the naturally occurring
pgrs into the crops/plants by means of a simulator of a pgr in the form of foliar sprays.
Furthermore, disadvantages of existing PGR'S is that Amide, Ammoniacal, Nitrate nitrogen etc., work only in a large quantity i.e. respectively 100 kg urea, 200 kg Ammonium sulphate and 220 kg Ammonium nitrate, whereas, this invention works in small quantities.
DEFINITIONS:
"NATURAL" - In general, the term "HARMONE" is used to designate certain organic compounds which exert important regulatory effects upon the metabolism of an organism when present in only minute quantities.
"SYNTHETIC": - In addition to the Naturally accruing hormones in plants, a number of organic compounds are known which, when introduced into plants in relatively small quantities, induce effects, which are similar to, and often apparently identical with, those induced by naturally accruing hormones. By an extension of the original concept, such substances are also often called plant hormones, although the more rigorous definition of term would restrict it to naturally accruing compound.
Other terms commonly used to designate plant hormones are phytohormones, growth hormones, growth substances and growth regulators (a term which includes both growth activators and growth inhibitors) and now combining all the effects is the term coined as plant growth regulators.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS:
This is a very unique invention since it contains a composition of bio-chemicals and unique fertilizer in specific proportions which result in a
composition of a biochemical which simulates a pgr in which synergism is secured.
This invention is performed with piperazine citrate as the key ingredient. The process of manufacturing is done in order to obtain the product "CITRAAZINE" which is a synthetic simulator which works on the plants at the meristematic levels. Piperazine citrate has been chosen after deep research in the organic cyclic kingdom. The above products can be extracted from black pepper and citrus. The same can also be synthesized. Piperazine citrate is slightly acidic and goes well with MAP and KNO3 and needs no separate neutralization. Here they act only as carriers to the .site. In animals^ hormones will act from place of origin remotely to site, but in plants it has to travel to site of activity. Apart from transport MAP, KNO3 also gives abundant synergisms. ZnSCU, FeSO4, MnSCU, CUSO4, Boron, Molybdate also act as carriers of Piperazine citrate and induce multifaceted activity. Individually they are required for plants to synthesise different hormones.
Furthermore, Citrates are sequestering ligands also.
Abbreviations used:
1. MAP - Mono ammonium phosphate.
2. KNO3 - Potassium Nitrate.
3. ZnSO4.H2O - Zinc Sulphate mono hydrate.
4. FeSO4.H2O - Ferrus sulphate mono hydrate.
5. MnSO4 - Manganese sulphate.
6. KOH - Potassium hydroxide.
7. HEDP - Hydroxy ethyeldene Diphosphonic acid.
8. Na2HEDP - Di-sodium Hydroxy ethyeldene Diphosphonic acid.
9. PGR - Plant Growth Regulator.
CITRAAZINE solution:
This preparation contains 2% - 80% Piperazine citrate, 0.6% - 3% ammoniaccal nitrogen; 0.11% -3% Nitrate Nitrogen; 2.3% -5% Amide nitrogen with water soluble 3.05% P2O5 and 15% K2O.
The cyclic nitrogen in piperazine citrate will trigger meristematic tissues, accelerate photosynthesis and also induce non - flowering plant hormones by basipital movement, Such compound obtained known as "CITRAAZINE" enables the plant raw materials to act swiftly as they are foliar fed in small quantities to perform well by increasing uptake of soil nutrients and by increasing photosynthates.
PIPERAZINE CITRATE PENTA HYDRATE:
100 Litres of water is taken and 15 kilos of piperazine citrate penta hydrate is dissolved and when we use 250 ml per acre it gives 4.3 grams of cylic nitrogen.
I. 100 liters of preparation with 15 kg piperazine citrate penta hydrate
contains 1.719 kg cyclic nitrogen.
1 liter of preparation contains 0.01719 kg cyclic nitrogen. 250 ml of preparation contains 0.0043 kg cyclic nitrogen. When 250 ml is used per acre, 0.0043 kg cyclic nitrogen. Gives 10% to 30% increasing yield. (Only 4.3 Grams).
PIPERAZINE CITRATE ANHYDROUS:
100 Litres of water is taken and 15 kilos of piperazine citrate penta hydrate is dissolved and when we use 250 ml per acre it gives 4.89 grams of cylic nitrogen.
II. 100 liters of preparation with 15 kg piperazine citrate anhydrous
contains 1.959 cyclic nitrogen.
250 ml contains 0.00489 kg
When 250 ml is used per acre, 0.00489 kg cyclic nitrogen. Gives 10% to 30% increasing yield. (Only 4.89 Grams).
Ultimately these combined products in specific proportion with main active ingredient Piperazine citrate melt down, to increase photosynthesis activity thereby photosynthates to increase yield, quality etc. Piperazine citrate triggers all other additives to function in a stimulated way and thus shows, how a small quantity of CITRAAZINE works in a manner that simulates the effects of PGR.
This invention of CITRAAZINE however, is sequestered with modern ligands of all additives with HEDP and Na2 HEDP which result with in multivarious reactions inbuilt in them. The ligands HEDP and Na2HEDP in addition to sequestering gives enormous P2O5 which enables plant metabolism.

EXAMPLES:
This invention can be worked in many ways and four of such ways are detailed hereinbelow:
1. The piperazine citrate is used at 10 to 20 kgs, 10 kg each MAP and KNO3 with 1 kg each acetyl salicylic acid and succinic acid in hundred litres of water.
Piperazine citrate is acidic and hence it will take only 3 hours to complete reaction.
2. A special drip irrigation formula is made with 10% concentration and packed in two liter pack to facilitate easy disbursement in drip tank.
3. Piperazine citrate can be made as 15 - 20% granule for application in orchards and where spraying not possible.
EXAMPLE - III.
To make 15% granule of CITRAAZINE, piperazine citrate 10 - 15 kg is dissolved in water blended with absorbent calcium Silicate and rosin and sprayed in bentonite granule and a 15% CITRAAZINE granule is obtained.
INGREDIENT AND COMPOSITION:
Roasted / unroasted bentonite / Clay /silica quarts granule = 80 kg Piperazine citrate - 15 kg Coating agent and Rosin - 5 kg.
Weighed granule is taken and mixed with calcium silicate (as absorbent) and charged in drum mixer. The piperazine citrate solution is taken with coating agent and sprayed on granules at 50 kg /sq.cm. pressure. It is allowed for 15 to 20 minutes and then taken out to market.
EXAMPLE - IV.
A representative need based formula is designed to meet the requirement of special circumstances in Agriculture / Horticulture. Piperazine citrate as main active ingredient the following additions are made as carriers, stabilizers, anti caking agent and buffers. With piperazine citrate anhydrous or pentahydrate - ZnSo4, FeSO4, MnSO4, CUSO4, Ammonium molybdate, Boron all act as carriers and calcium silicate as anti caking agent, succinic acid as electron transporter, acetyl salicylic acid as toner is added and ball milled along with NA2 HEDP (sequestering agent) to get a fine soluble powder.
First metallic ions sequestered with Na2HEDP by mixing and reacting and afterwards other ingredients are added and ball milled to get a fine powder.
BEST METHOD OF USE:
APPLICATION LEVEL per acre:
PIPERAZINE CITRATE PENTA HYDRATE (CITRAAZINE)
C24 H46 N6O14.5H2O - M.W = 732.73
PIPERAZINE CITRATE ANHYDROUS (CITRAAZINE ANHYDROUS)
C24 H46 N6 O14 - M.W = 642.76
15 Kg of CITRAAZINE contains 1.719 kg hetro cyclic nitrogen
250 ml /acre when we use 4.3 gms of hetro cyclic nitrogen is applied per acre. 250 ml is sprayed with 10 tanks of power sprayer that 100 liters of spray wash.
Likewise in CITRAAZINE ANHYDROUS 4.9 grms of hetro cyclic nitrogen per acre is sprayed with power sprayer. This low dose of 4.3 to 4.9 gms of pipe citrate hetrocyclic aromatic nitrogen is sufficient for overcoming the depletion of natural PGRs, micro and secondary nutrients etc., which is the resultant of our action in overdoing NPK for last two decades.
Since, we have dovetailed micros with pipes we get mileage from the product and apart from carriers to site they also help plants immensely thus resulting in various multi synergisms.
Micros how they work:
The role of micros has been described exhaustively in earlier pages. When piperazine citrate triggers all round activities in the plant system, hunger is created and all the nutrients are thereby used by the plants to full capacity.
